Michelangelo

Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
An artist does his most difficult work when he steps back from the blank canvas and thinks about what he is going to create.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
I sometimes set myself thinking and imagining that I find amongst men but one single art or science, and that is drawing or painting, all others being members proceeding therefrom.
Michelangelo
